Accounts Payable Starter Kit - object-centric
The Accounts Payable Starter Kit helps you start your process mining journey by providing valuable insights into your current Accounts Payable process and by surfacing opportunities to improve it.
Each Celonis Starter Kit focuses on the use cases that are proven to generate the most value for businesses. For the object-centric Accounts Payable Starter Kit, these are:
Payment behavior, including on-time payment
Automation, including touchless invoices
Working capital, including Days Payable Outstanding (DPO)
Cash discounts, including Cash Discount Ratio
Credit memos, including Credit Memo Aging
The object-centric Accounts Payable Starter Kit comprises:
The Accounts Payable Knowledge Model, with the KPIs (key performance indicators) and formulas that contain the process knowledge for Accounts Payable.
A Validation Cockpit for invoices and another for credit memos, for you to validate your ingested business data, understand how core process KPIs are calculated, and adjust the variable values and the Starter Kit views to fit your requirements.
A Process Cockpit for invoices and another for credit memos, which guide you to localize patterns and surface opportunities for the supplied use cases.
This documentation is for the object-centric version of the Accounts Payable Starter Kit, which works with objects and events created for object-centric process mining. It uses the perspective_celonis_AccountsPayable perspective that’s supplied with our object-centric data model. The perspective includes the objects, events, and relationships from the object-centric data model that are relevant for the Accounts Payable business process.
If you’ve used the case-centric version of the Accounts Payable Starter Kit, you’ll notice that the object-centric version doesn’t include the Value Discovery view or the Duplicate Invoices use case, so you don’t need to set these up. To check for duplicate invoices, install the object-centric version of the Accounts Payable Duplicate Invoice Checker app. You’ll also see that there’s a Validation Cockpit and Process Cockpit dedicated to credit memos, so you can analyze vendor account credits and debits separately.
For the documentation and setup instructions for the case-centric version of the Accounts Payable Starter Kit, see Accounts Payable Starter Kit.
